Week 18 of the English Premier League floats into the ether after Everton continue their impressive climb up the table with a 3-1 win at home against bottom of the table Swansea.

Unless you are part of the Goodison Park furniture, it’s difficult to understand why Ronald Koeman failed to make Everton a Champions League contender after spending so lavishly in the summer. Fortunately, Sam Allardyce revealed the truth during the post-match analysis of Everton’s victory over Swansea last night.

“From a tactical point of view, I’ve simplified the game. And I’m man-managing the players,” a confident looking Allardyce told reporters. 

Translated that means Koeman over-complicated things, and big-timed the players.
